(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb Racing followed the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series trail to the states of Tennessee and Indiana from August 21-23 for a pair of $10,000 to win shootouts. On Thursday night at the ultra-fast Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee, a strong contingent of Super Late Models piled into the pit area for the annual ‘Scorcher.’ Dennis Erb, Jr. knocked down the ninth quickest lap overall during qualifying and later grabbed the fifth transfer spot through his heat race. After rolling off from the inside of the eighth row in the 50-lap headliner, Dennis was able to move past six competitors during the ‘Scorcher’ to eventually nab a solid ninth place effort.
Following a day off on Friday, the Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana played host to the cars and stars of the LOLMDS on Saturday evening in the ‘Whiskey City 50.’ Dennis posted the fifteenth fastest lap during time trials prior to finishing fourth in heat race action. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then muscled by four cars during the 50-lapper en route to a steady eighth place performance. The ‘Whiskey City 50’ at Lawrenceburg was taped by the television cameras of the Lucas Oil Production Studios for broadcast later in the year. Full results from both shows can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
The #28 team will continue on with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series over the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend, as three big events with over $165,000 in prize money are planned in the states of Ohio and West Virginia from August 29-31. A pair of $10,000 winner’s checks will be on the line this Friday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio and this Saturday at Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio. In the tripleheader finale on Sunday, a whopping $25,000 payday will be up for grabs in the 46th Annual ‘Hillbilly 100′ at I-77 Raceway Park in Ripley, West Virginia.
Dennis comes into the holiday triple shot ninth in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings. Additional information on the shows at Attica, Portsmouth, and I-77 can be accessed by pointing your web browser to www.lucasdirt.com.
